I once went to buy a soda at the mall at one of those news stands. I only had like $2 on me, the soda was $2.50... alright, I go to pay with my card, "Sorry it's a $5 minimum."
"Got anything behind there to make it $5, can I just go grab another soda?"
"You're holding up my line."
So I went to the subway right next to him and stared him right in the eyes as I got a 85 cent soda and paid with a card.
Basically, fuck people who sell stuff.
So... you didn't check to make sure you had enough money to buy what you wanted, and you didn't grab some extra stuff before you got in line to hit the $5 minimum, but that's his fault?
To be fair, that clerk sounded like a dick.
If I were in line behind Bowen, I would have been pissed.
And not at the clerk.
? Really?
Why? Are you pissed at people in front of you when they mistype their PIN and apologize while having to do it a second time?
Likely one of those people who assumes cash is faster. Up here you're lucky if the cashier can figure out how to count change quicker than I can hit "credit" on the keypad.
Thanks for putting words in my mouth, but no. What I think is faster is telling you to go away rather than waiting around for you to figure out what you need to buy because you weren't paying attention to what you were doing.
Why is it important to your quality of life that everyone around you is maximally efficient and doesn't inconvenience you whatsoever.
I'm more concerned about how I was supposed to see the future.
I wasn't aware that knowing whether or not you have enough cash to pay for something on you requires precognition.
Lol what?
Have you only read like half the story? He knew they took cards, but not about the minimum. At that point so long as he doesn't ever draw or go over his limit, he has enough money to pay for it.
I friendzoned a girl and now she wont talk to me because she thought I wanted the V and I didn't, I thought we were just friends
I remember how after I got divorced a girl could hit me over the head with the "I want to date you" stick and it still wouldn't register because after being married for years I had no clue as to what the signs were.
But it was all for the good, because once I was clued in I met Mrs. DoctorArch!
Hmm, should I make a thread about prognosticating and math? I forgot how much math you have to do in this shot, and I remember having a few conversations in here about it..

Yell "take THAT, societal conception of gender roles!" and kick someone down the stairs.
I regularly do this and it's pretty great.
the worst part is she was literally my only good friend in the area, this was about a year and a half ago
Now Im getting chummy with this girl and she wanted lunch yesterday and im getting the same vibes but absolutely do not feel that way about her (like im p sure she thought it was a date)
maybe there's something wrong with me, I've been single for a long time why am I not interested by default

Well... I'm sorry, and that sucks. But it she's not going to talk to you over that it seems like she might be lacking some... maturity? I mean that shit is really, really disappointing but it's not a thing to drop a friendship over for more than a week so you get over it.
Also nothing wrong with you, you're just being a person.

You don't have to be interested by default. That sounds like a 'desperate cat-lady no-one-wants-to-die-alone' attitude.

with the first one, I know her feelings were probably hurt too, because I asked her if she wanted to see a movie and I show up and she's wearing her best clothes and wearing perfume and her roomate isn't joining us and I'm thinking "oh dear", because I'm just wearing what the fuck ever because I thought it was just friend's going out
now I have nobody to go see movies with or check out new restaurants and shit, siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

People are often annoyed when activities that are uninteresting but necessary are made more time consuming than they need to be.
But the extra time involved is so tiny.
I meant just in general.
When extra time crosses the threshold into inconvenience is kind of subjective.
Plus the whole thing of many people causing small delays adding up overall.
I think this is what frustrates me about the buses, too. People riding like assholes causes all of the buses to get backed up, and become late. In addition, they do it every fucking day, which does add up quite a bit over time.
I've only got one life, and I'd rather keep the amount of it wasted by waiting on fuckfaces to figure out that they need to have their fare ready before they get on the bus kept to a minimum.

Ehhhhh. OK. It is absolutely immature to drop all contact and be a jerk about it; however, some feelings are too strong and remaining friends with someone could be bad for your mental health, so sometimes even being friends just isn't an option. Being honest about that is where maturity comes into play.

Oh. Yeah, I mean, you shouldn't feel guilty because you couldn't really have known, but that sucks. And for sure that must have hurt. But not like, never talk ever again hurt.
Of course I say this as a lonely person with issues relating to meeting people in person so..

Hmm, apparently I poured myself more vodka right before I went to sleep.
Hey look there's a big long conversation about waiting in line longer than necessary to buy a soda, and I spent 3 hours at the DMV today just for my yearly tag renewal.
I have no fucks to give.

Ok, that is certainly true. I guess I just find that.. really weird if you haven't actually dated. But just because I can't relate to it doesn't mean it doesn't happen, so yeah.

Booked an appointment to get my first bespoke suit tomorrow from a place a friend recommended.
Going to be hit by such a sense of imposter syndrome. I don't work in the city, what am I doing.
Nice, what fabric/make you going? What city you getting it from/establishment if you don't mind? A well tailored suit can last you 20 years if you're over 20 and don't get blackout drunk at every wedding.. Chicks dig black lanel.

She's upset. Buy her chocolate.
What is my deal with waking up at five or so?
I've done it four nights in a row now.
At least I went back to bed tonight. Also waking up is pretty fun for me now so I get twice as much of it. Weird post-hoc rationalization whoo?
I have made some moves and some decisions
I hope that they are excellent
They certainly feel excellent
But they are a secret for now
So why am I posting about it then, you might ask?
Shut up, that's why!

it's not like i'm swamped with offers
but if you're not attracted to someone you're not attracted to them

And when you feel guilty later you get the Sympathy V
In which you'll eventually have to return with Sympathy D
Will the cycle of sympathy pleasures never end?!
i am really just not attracted to her at all
i have a type that im interested in and she is pretty much the opposite
great girl, fun to hang around with but my D is not excite
Now matter how hard I try to ensure this is not the case
